Disney Parks celebrates six months to Christmas with holiday treat previews

Although summer officially begins on Tuesday, 21 June, it is time to think about Christmas. At least the Disney Parks are doing just that.

As the six-month countdown to Christmas begins this Saturday, starting 23 June Disney will preview what guests can expect when they visit Disneyland and Walt Disney World this holiday season.

According to the Disney Parks Blog, one of the best ways to celebrate is the tasty way. From the Peppermint Churro at California Churro over at Downtown Disney District to the Very Merry Minnie Mouse Cupcake at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, both coasts are serving up dishes to put park guests in the holiday spirit. Parks in honor of Halfway to the Holidays.

Beginning June 23 through 30, this twist on a classic features a corn dog made with a turkey hot dog, hand-dipped in batter, rolled in panko crumbs and served with a side of cranberry sauce for dipping.

For those with more of a sweet tooth, from June 23 through 30, California Churro has the Peppermint Churro, a churro rolled in crushed peppermint and drizzled with a mint frosting topped with peppermint candy pieces.
